ITunes is asking for credit card details to download free apps

I've never had an apple product before so im new to this, but i now have an iPhone 3GS on IOS 4.1. I can't update the iPhone as i have it unlocked and it will remove the patch. I know that to download apps you need to put in card details, but i dont own a credit card. Apparently, it's supposed to give me an option not to select any card, which would allow me to download free apps but that option isnt there. I can't download any apps, not even free ones.

There are instructions on this page on how to create a new account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. select a free app in the store and click 'create Apple id' when 'buying' it

    If you don't want to provide your Credit Card to your iTunes Account then you can buy a iTunes Gift Card of Minimum Value and Redeem the same and continue. The Other option is to Enter your Credit Card Details and then Remove it from your Account after your Account is Verified or you can create a Free Apple ID with New Email Address but to use it for Free you will have to Verify your Email address immediately after creating your Apple ID.

  • Itunes always asks for credit card authorization

    I'm using the same computer, but always get challenged to verify a credit card security card, claiming I am using a different computer.  Why do I always have to repeat this activity?

    You can create an iTune and App Store account without credit card details
    1. Sign out of current Apple ID if you are sign-in to one (important)
    2. Go to App Store and select a free app
    3. Tap INSTALL APP
    4. Create New Apple ID
    5. Confirm Your Country
    6. Agree with Terms and Conditions
    7. Fill in your Apple ID and Password (you must create a new Apple ID; don't use your old Apple ID)
    8. Create and answer your secret question
    9. Select NONE for Payment Method
    10. Fill in Billing Address
    11. Submit application for new Apple ID
    12. Wait for verification email
    13. When email arrive, verify your account
    14. Start downloading your free apps

  • Adobe CC keep asking for credit card detail despite already have

    I already have my credit card detail on my profile since I purchased CC and used for about a month.
    But now when I launch any app, a window pop up and keep asking for my credit card detail.
    I followed the link and found my credit card detail already exist. I try removing and adding again but this windows still persist and counting down.
    How can I solve this? I have to use Photoshop everyday and can't work if it is disabled.
    FYI, my credit card is valid and have enough balance and is the same one I used to purchased CC.

  • Still need credit card info to download FREE apps in App Store

    Why has this issue not yet been addressed by Apple? How is it even sensible that people must provide credit card information just to download FREE apps in the App Store? The App Store was launched months ago! This is very unusual of Apple and their policy of making things simple for customers.

    That is Apple's policy.
    You can setup an Apple ID without a credit card.

  • No credit card--can't download free apps.

    I printed out the instructions listed in the link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534) because I am having the same problem not being able to download free apps. When I get to the step to select "none" for credit card, this selection is not there and won't let me go past without a cc. My daughter had here ipod first and she did not have put any cc info in and has no problems. How can I get past this?

    Are you sure you're starting the account creation by clicking on the "get" button for a free application? I signed out of my account in the iTunes store, went to the App store and chose a free app. In the resulting sign-in prompt I clicked on create account and filled in the information, using an email address I've never before used with iTunes. When I got to the "provide a payment" screen I was able to choose None. Note that this won't necessarily work if you don't start the process by going to a free app and clicking Get.
    If you're still having trouble, try making sure that your computer is running at least iTunes 8.0.2. Click your Help menu and choose About iTunes; the exact version you are running is in the very first line that scrolls up.

    I had to create new apple ID as mentioned there and then the stupid "None" option showed up.  Don't understand why this though!

  • I have created my apple id.Now when I m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details again forget that I hv made multiple payments while trying to download the app but the app is not getting downloaded.It is sowing the msg cant connect to itune

    I have created my apple Id.Now when i m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details.I have made multiple payments while trying to download the app.But the app is not getting downloaded,it is showing the message cannot connect to the i tune store.What should i do to download the applications.

    Ok, first of all don't keep purchasing the application, and if you've purchased it multiple times, contact iTunes billing department immediately.  They SHOULD only send one actual confirmation in and the rest of the "pending" charges will drop off (how long that takes is up to your credit card company, not iTunes), but you should be sure.
    Second, sometimes when they are uploading a lot of new stuff at certain times it can cause the store to screw up, or any number of other reasons could be a factor why you can't connect to the iTunes store, be it on their end or on your end even.  Wait a little bit and try again via "Check for available downloads" or via your "Purchased" option on the iTunes store main page.
    IF the app you purchased isn't there and you are sure your credit card was charged, then you will need to contact iTunes to find out why you can't download the app.

  • I have to update all my application in my App Store however they are asking for the credit card details since this is to update only. Even to download some free games still they are asking my credit card details since it is a free. Please help me..

    I have 11 updates in my App Store but every time I click the update they ask first my apply ID that would be fine but after they will ask my credit card details since this is only to update. Please help me.
    Also, even I would like to download some games it's ok to ask for our Apple ID but in the second time they will ask for the credit card details. Please help me

    My younger brother had the same problem. You have to go into settings, app store, details and then change your credit card details to none. If there is no none option, you will have to use a different apple id.
